Peak Position: 23 Peak Date: June 04th, 2006 Hottest 100 Peak: N/A The second single from 2006’s State Of Emergency, ‘Long Live The Weekend’ had it all on paper; relatable lyrics, a fun atmosphere, and a catchy chorus.

Despite a lower Hottest 100 placing than ‘Pictures In The Mirror’, ‘Roll On’ became a firm favourite, proving the group were never going take it easy ...
Peak Position: 12 Peak Date: August 3rd, 2008 Hottest 100 Peak: 23 After two years between drinks, The Living End returned in 2008 with the exceptional White Noise.

Peak Position: 12 Peak Date: January 24th, 1999 Hottest 100 Peak: 41 Rapid property development might not be the first thing you’d expect a young punk band to write about, but then again, few bands were like The Living End.

Peak Position: 4 Peak Date: May 24th, 1998 Hottest 100 Peak: 15 Alright, it seems like cheating to put two songs at the top of this list, but that’s exactly how The Living End reached their chart peak back in the day.
